Abstract
A method for antenna subset selection by joint processing in RF and baseband in a multi-antenna systems. Lt input data streams are generated in a transmitter for either diversity transmission or multiplexing transmission. These streams are modulated to RF signals. These signals are switched to the t branches associated with the t transmit antennas, and a phase-shift transformation is applied to the RF signals by a txt matrix multiplication operator Phi1, whose output are t>=Lt RF signals. These signals are transmitted over a channel by t antennas. The transmitted signals are received by r antennas in a receiver. A phase-shift transformation is applied to the r RF signals by a rxr matrix multiplication operator Phi2. Lr branches of these phase shifted streams are demodulated and further processed in baseband to recover the input data streams.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to multiple antenna communication, and particularly, the present invention relates in this system, handle the RF signal that sends by the space correlation channel.
Background technology
Multiaerial system just is being widely regarded as the most feasible method of the bandwidth efficiency that is used for significantly increasing wireless system for transmitting data.In MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) system, all dispose a plurality of antennas at the transmitter and receiver place.In MISO (the single output of many inputs) system, receiver has only an antenna, and has a plurality of transmitting antennas to be used to send diversity.In SIMO (the many outputs of single input) system, transmitter has only an antenna, and uses a plurality of antennas in receiver one side.
If given a plurality of antennas then can utilize the Spatial Dimension of channel to improve the performance of Radio Link.Common described performance is measured as the mean bit rate (bit/s) that described Radio Link can provide according to application, perhaps is measured as average error rate (BER).
If given multi-antenna channel, duplex method and a transmission bandwidth, then described multiaerial system can be categorized as arrowband or broadband (being described channel smooth or frequency selective fading in described system bandwidth), and have all or part of or do not have channel condition information (CSI).
A plurality of antennas provide the performance that strengthens.Studies show that and to use a plurality of antennas that space diversity is provided, and/or increase information theory capacity (quantity speed), for example referring to " channel, propagation and the antenna that are used for mobile communication " (Channels of Vaughn and Anderson, propagation, and antennas for mobile communications), IEE publishing house, 2003; People's such as Telatar " capacity of many antennas Gaussian channel " (" Capacity ofMulti-Antenna Gaussian Channels "), european telecommunication journal (EuropeanTrans.on Telecomm.), the 10th volume, NO.6, the 585-596 page or leaf, in November, 1999-December; " the relevant capacity that in the Rayleigh fading environment, possesses the wireless communication system of diversity " (" the On the Capacity of Radio Communication Systems withDiversity in Rayleigh Fading Environments ") of Winters, IEEE J.Selected AreasComm., 1987; And people such as Tarokh " the space-time coding that is used for high data rate wireless communication: performance criteria and coding structure " (" Space-time Codes for HighData Rate Wireless Communication:Performance Criterion and CodeConstruction "), IEEE information theory journal, the 44th volume, the 744-765 page or leaf, in March, 1999.
But, disadvantageously, utilize the operation of a plurality of RF links to increase complexity and cost.Can use a kind of day line options technology to determine the antenna subset an of the best.When reducing the quantity of required RF link, so still, can produce improved performance, " capacity that possesses the mimo system of day line options " (" Capacity of MIMO Systemswith Antenna Selection ") referring to people such as Molisch, Proc.IEEE Intl.Comm.Conf., the 570-574 page or leaf, calendar year 2001, and people such as Gore " utilizing the MIMO antenna subset of space-time coding to select " (" MIMO Antenna Subset Selection with Space-TimeCoding "), IEEE signal processing journal, the 50th volume, NO.10,2580-2588 page or leaf, in October, 2002.
The sky line options technology of most prior aries focuses only on a subclass selecting antenna before down conversion and Base-Band Processing.This (space) day line options technology is worked very good in some cases, and promptly under following situation: (i) selected antenna amount only is slightly less than the quantity of available antenna unit, and (ii) mimo channel is space-independent.
But, in actual conditions, very general at the dependent scattering of transmitter and receiver aerial array.Because the directional transmissions in the wireless environment, according to the angle of emergence and incidence angle at the antenna place, signal waveform can be correlated with to heavens.
The prior art sky line options technology of only operating in spatial domain is being handled thisly when relevant, and it has serious deterioration at aspect of performance.And even for weak relevant, when the quantity of selected antenna during significantly less than the quantity of available antenna, the antenna of prior art also demonstrates serious performance loss.
So expectation provides a kind of RF signal processing technology that overcomes the problems referred to above in the prior art.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of system and method for in multiple antenna communication, selecting based on the antenna subset of radio frequency and the processing of base band allied signal.Described system is designed to full-diversity transmission or multiplexed transmission in relevant and non-correlation channel.
The present invention uses phase-shift operations in radio frequency (RF) link.Described operation can perhaps before the sky of receiver line options, perhaps be carried out after the sky of transmitter line options simultaneously in the above two kinds of cases.
